Item Mesoporous bioactive glasses equipped with stimuli-responsive molecular gates for the controlled delivery of levofloxacin against bacteria(Chemistry-A european journal, 2018) Polo, Lorena; Gómez Cerezo, María Natividad; García-Fernández, Alba; Aznar, Elena; Vivancos, Jose Luis; Arcos Navarrete, Daniel; Vallet Regí, María Dulce Nombre; Martinez-Martinez, RamonIncrease of bone diseases incidence has boosted the study of ceramic biomaterials as a potential osteo-inductive scaffolds. Particularly, mesoporous bioactive glasses have demonstrated to possess a broad application in the bone regeneration field, due their osteo-regenerative capability and their ability to release drugs from its mesoporous structure. These special features have been studied as an option to fight against bone infection, which is one of the most common problems regarding bone regeneration therapies. In this work, we develop a mesoporous bioglass functionalized with polyamines and capped with ATP as molecular gate for the controlled release of the antibiotic levofloxacin. Phosphate bonds of the ATP are hydrolyzed in the presence of acid phosphatase (APase), which significantly increases its concentration in bone infection due to the activation of bone resorption processes. The solid has been characterized and tested successfully against bacteria. The final gated solid only induces bacterial death in the presence of acid phosphatase. Additionally, it has also been demonstrated that the solid is not toxic for human cells. The double function of the prepared nanodevice as drug delivery system and bone regeneration enhancer, confirms the possible development of a new approach in tissue engineering field, where controlled release of therapeutic agents can be finely tuned at the same time that osteoinduction is favored.Item Mesoporous bioactive glass/ɛ-polycaprolactone scaffolds promote bone regeneration in osteoporotic sheep(Acta Biomaterialia, 2019) Gómez Cerezo, María Natividad; Casarrubios Molina, Laura; Saiz-Pardo, M.; Ortega, L.; De Pablo, D.; Díaz-Güemes, I.; Fernández-Tomé, E.; Enciso, S; Sanchez-Margallo, F. M.; Portolés Pérez, María Teresa; Arcos Navarrete, Daniel; Vallet Regí, María Dulce NombreMacroporous scaffolds made of a SiO2-CaO-P2O5 mesoporous bioactive glass (MBG) and ɛpolycaprolactone (PCL) have been prepared by robocasting. These scaffolds showed an excellent in vitro biocompatibility in contact with osteoblast like cells (Saos 2) and osteoclasts derived from RAW 264.7 macrophages. In vivo studies were carried out by implantation into cavitary defects drilled in osteoporotic sheep. The scaffolds evidenced excellent bone regeneration properties, promoting new bone formation at both the peripheral and the inner parts of the scaffolds, thick trabeculae, high vascularization and high presence of osteoblasts and osteoclasts. In order to evaluate the effects of the local release of an antiosteoporotic drug, 1% (%wt) of zoledronic acid was incorporated to the scaffolds. The scaffolds loaded with zoledronic acid induced apoptosis in Saos 2 cells, impeded osteoclast differentiation in a time dependent manner and inhibited bone healing, promoting an intense inflammatory response in osteoporotic sheep.Item Molecular gates in mesoporous bioactive glasses for the treatment of bone tumors and infection(Acta Biomaterialia, 2016) Polo, Lorena; Gómez Cerezo, María Natividad; Vivancos, Jose Luis; Sancenón, Félix; Arcos Navarrete, Daniel; Vallet Regí, María Dulce Nombre; Martínez Máñez, RamónSilica mesoporous nanomaterials have been proved to have meaningful application in biotechnology and biomedicine. Particularly, mesoporous bioactive glasses are recently gaining importance thanks to their bone regenerative properties. Moreover, the mesoporous nature of these materials makes them suitable for drug delivery applications, opening new lines in the field of bone therapies. In this work, we have developed innovative nanodevices based on the implementation of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and e-poly-l-lysine molecular gates using a mesoporous bioglass as an inorganic support. The systems have been previously proved to work properly with a fluorescence probe and subsequently with an antibiotic(levofloxacin) and an antitumoral drug(doxorubicin). The bioactivity of the prepared materials has also been tested, giving promising results. Finally, in vitro cell culture studies have been carried out; demonstrating that this gated devices can provide useful approaches for bone cancer and bone infection treatments. Statement of Significance Molecular-gated materials have recently been drawing attention due to their applications in fields as biomedicine and molecular recognition. For the first time as we are aware, we report herein a new enzymatic responsive molecular-gated device consisting in a mesoporous bioactive glass support implemented with two different molecular gates. Both controlled drug delivery properties and apatite-like phase formation ability of the device have been demonstrated, getting promising results. This approach opens up the possibility of developing new stimuli-responsive tailored biomaterials for bone cancer and infection treatments as well as regenerative bone grafts.Item Targeting Agents in Biomaterial-Mediated Bone Regeneration(International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2023) Gisbert Garzarán, Miguel; Gómez Cerezo, María Natividad; Vallet Regí, María Dulce NombreBone diseases are a global public concern that affect millions of people. Even though current treatments present high efficacy, they also show several side effects. In this sense, the development of biocompatible nanoparticles and macroscopic scaffolds has been shown to improve bone regeneration while diminishing side effects. In this review, we present a new trend in these materials, reporting several examples of materials that specifically recognize several agents of the bone microenvironment. Briefly, we provide a subtle introduction to the bone microenvironment. Then, the different targeting agents are exposed. Afterward, several examples of nanoparticles and scaffolds modified with these agents are shown. Finally, we provide some future perspectives and conclusions. Overall, this topic presents high potential to create promising translational strategies for the treatment of bone-related diseases. We expect this review to provide a comprehensive description of the incipient state-of-the-art of bone-targeting agents in bone regeneration.Item The response of pre-osteoblasts and osteoclasts to gallium containing mesoporous bioactive glasses.(Acta Biomaterialia, 2018) Gómez Cerezo, María Natividad; Verron, E; Montouillout, V; Fayon, F; Lagadec, P; Bouler, J.M.; Bujoli, B; Arcos Navarrete, Daniel; Vallet Regí, María Dulce NombreMesoporous bioactive glasses (MBGs) in the system SiO2-CaO-P2O5-Ga2O3 have been synthesized by the evaporation induced self-assembly method and subsequent impregnation with Ga cations. Two different compositions have been prepared and the local environment of Ga(III) has been characterized using 29Si, 71Ga and 31P NMR analysis, demonstrating that Ga(III) is efficiently incorporated as both, network former (GaO4 units) and network modifier (GaO6 units). In vitro bioactivity tests evidenced that Ga-containing MBGs retain their capability for nucleation and growth of an apatite-like layer in contact with a simulated body fluid with ion concentrations nearly equal to those of human blood plasma. Finally, in vitro cell culture tests evidenced that Ga incorporation results in a selective effect on osteoblasts and osteoclasts. Indeed, the presence of this element enhances the early differentiation towards osteoblast phenotype while disturbing osteoclastogenesis. Considering these results, Ga-doped MBGs might be proposed as bone substitutes, especially in osteoporosis scenarios.Item Silicon substituted hydroxyapatite/VEGF scaffolds stimulate bone regeneration in osteoporotic sheep.(Acta Biomaterialia, 2019) Casarrubios Molina, Laura; Gómez Cerezo, María Natividad; Sánchez Salcedo, Sandra; Feito Castellano, María José; Serrano, M.C.; Saiz-Pardo, M.; Ortega Menor, Lorena; De Pablo, D.; Díaz-Güemes, I.; Fernández-Tomé, E.; Enciso, S; Portolés Pérez, María Teresa; Sanchez-Margallo, F.M; Arcos Navarrete, Daniel; Vallet Regí, María Dulce Nombre; Sanchez-Margallo, F. M.Silicon-substituted hydroxyapatite (SiHA) macroporous scaffolds have been prepared by robocasting. In order to optimize their bone regeneration properties, we have manufactured these scaffolds presenting different microstructures: nanocrystalline and crystalline. Moreover, their surfaces have been decorated with vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) to evaluate the potential coupling between vascularization and bone regeneration. In vitro cell culture tests evidence that nanocrystalline SiHA hinders pre-osteblast proliferation, whereas the presence of VEGF enhances the biological functions of both endothelial cells and pre-osteoblasts. The bone regeneration capability has been evaluated using an osteoporotic sheep model. In vivo observations strongly correlate with in vitro cell culture tests. Those scaffolds made of nanocrystalline SiHA were colonized by fibrous tissue, promoted inflammatory response and forested osteoclast recruitment. These observations discard nanocystalline SiHA as a suitable material for bone regeneration purposes. On the contrary, those scaffolds made of crystalline SiHA and decorated with VEGF exhibited bone regeneration properties, with high ossification degree, thicker trabeculae and higher presence of osteoblasts and blood vessels. Considering these results, macroporous scaffolds made of SiHA and decorated with VEGF are suitable bone grafts for regeneration purposes, even in adverse pathological scenarios such as osteoporosis.Item Novel ion-doped mesoporous glasses for bone tissue engineering: Study of their structural characteristics influenced by the presence of phosphorous oxide(Journal of Non-Crystalline Solids, 2017) Philippart, Anahí; Gómez Cerezo, María Natividad; Arcos Navarrete, Daniel; Salinas Sánchez, Antonio J.; Boccardi, Elena; Vallet Regí, María Dulce Nombre; Boccaccini, A. R.Ion-doped binary SiO2-CaO and ternary SiO2-CaO-P2O5 mesoporous bioactive glasses were synthesized and characterized to evaluate the influence of P2O5 in the glass network structure. Strontium, copper and cobalt oxides in a proportion of 0.8 mol% were selected as dopants because the osteogenic and angiogenic properties reported for these elements. Although the four glass compositions investigated presented analogous textural properties, TEM analysis revealed that the structure of those containing P2O5 exhibited an increased ordered mesoporosity. Furthermore, 29Si NMR revealed that the incorporation of P2O5 increased the network connectivity and that this compound captured the Sr2 +, Cu2 + and Co2 + ions preventing them to behave as modifiers of the silica network. In addition, 31P NMR results revealed that the nature of the cation directly influences the characteristics of the phosphate clusters. In this study, we have proven that phosphorous oxide entraps doping-metallic ions, granting these glasses with a greater mesopores order.Item Incorporation and effects of mesoporous SiO2-CaO nanospheres loaded with ipriflavone on osteoblast/osteoclast cocultures(European Journal of Pharmaceutics and Biopharmaceutics, 2018) Casarrubios Molina, Laura; Gómez Cerezo, María Natividad; Feito Castellano, María José; Vallet Regí, María Dulce Nombre; Arcos Navarrete, Daniel; Portolés Pérez, María TeresaMesoporous nanospheres in the system SiO2-CaO (NanoMBGs) with a hollow core surrounded by a radial arrangement of mesopores were characterized, labeled with FITC (FITC-NanoMBGs) and loaded with ipriflavone (NanoMBG-IPs) in order to evaluate their incorporation and their effects on both osteoblasts and osteoclasts simultaneously and maintaining the communication with each other in coculture. The influence of these nanospheres on macrophage polarization towards pro-inflammatory M1 or reparative M2 phenotypes was also evaluated in basal and stimulated conditions through the expression of CD80 (as M1 marker) and CD206 (as M2 marker) by flow cytometry and confocal microscopy. NanoMBGs did not induce the macrophage polarization towards the M1 pro-inflammatory phenotype, favoring the M2 reparative phenotype and increasing the macrophage response capability against stimuli as LPS and IL-4. NanoMBG-IPs induced a significant decrease of osteoclast proliferat ion and resorption activity after 7 days in coculture with osteoblasts, without affecting osteoblast proliferation and viability. Drug release test demonstrated that only a fraction of the payload is released by diffusion, whereas the rest of the drug remains within the hollow core after 7 days, thus ensuring the local long-term pharmacological treatment beyond the initial fast IP release. All these data ensure an appropriate immune response to these nanospheres and the potential application of NanoMBG-IPs as local drug delivery system in osteoporotic patients.Item Effects of a mesoporous bioactive glass on osteoblasts, osteoclasts and macrophages(Journal of Colloid and Interface Science, 2018) Gómez Cerezo, María Natividad; Casarrubios Molina, Laura; Morales, I.; Feito Castellano, María José; Vallet Regí, María Dulce Nombre; Arcos Navarrete, Daniel; Portolés Pérez, María TeresaA mesoporous bioactive glass (MBG) of molar composition 75SiO2-20CaO-5P2O5 (MBG-75S) has been synthetized as a potential bioceramic for bone regeneration purposes. X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), nitrogen adsorption studies and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) demonstrated that MBG-75S possess a highly ordered mesoporous structure with high surface area and porosity, which would explain the high ionic exchange rate (mainly calcium and silicon soluble species) with the surrounded media. MBG-75S showed high biocompatibility in contact with Saos-2 osteoblast-like cells. Concentrations up to 1 mg/ml did not lead to significant alterations on either morphology or cell cycle. Regarding the effects on osteoclasts, MBG-75S allowed the differentiation of RAW264.7 macrophages into osteoclast-like cells but exhibiting a decreased resorptive activity. These results point out that MBG-75S does not inhibit osteoclastogenesis but reduces the osteoclast bone-resorbing capability. Finally, in vitro studies focused on the innate immune response, evidenced that MBG-75S allows the proliferation of macrophages without inducing their polarization towards the M1 pro-inflammatory phenotype. This in vitro behavior is indicative that MBG-75S would just induce the required innate immune response without further inflammatory complications under in vivo conditions. The overall behavior respect to osteoblasts, osteoclasts and macrophages, makes this MBG a very interesting candidate for bone grafting applications in osteoporotic patients.Item The effect of biomimetic mineralization of 3D-printed mesoporous bioglass scaffolds on physical properties and in vitro osteogenicity(Materials Science & Engineering C, 2019) Gómez Cerezo, María Natividad; Lozano Borregón, Daniel; Arcos Navarrete, Daniel; Vallet Regí, María Dulce Nombre; Vaquette, CedryckThree-dimensional Mesoporous bioactive glasses (MBGs) scaffolds has been widely considered for bone regeneration purposes and additive manufacturing enables the fabrication of highly bioactive patient-specific constructs for bone defects. Commonly, this process is performed with the addition of polymeric binders that facilitate the printability of scaffolds. However, these additives cover the MBG particles resulting in the reduction of their osteogenic potential. The present work investigates a simple yet effective phosphate-buffered saline immersion method for achieving polyvinyl alcohol binder removal while enables the maintenance of the mesoporous structure of MBG 3D-printed scaffolds. This resulted in significantly modifying the surface of the scaffold via the spontaneous formation of a biomimetic mineralized layer which positively affected the physical and biological properties of the scaffold. The extensive surface remodeling induced by the deposition of the apatite-like layer lead to a 3-fold increase in surface area, a 5-fold increase in the roughness, and 4-fold increase in the hardness of the PBS-immersed scaffolds when compared to the as-printed counterpart. The biomimetic mineralization also occurred throughout the bulk of the scaffold connecting the MBGs particles and was responsible for the maintenance of structural integrity. In vitro assays using MC3T3-E1 pre-osteoblast like cells demonstrated a significant upregulation of osteogenic-related genes for the scaffolds previously immersed in PBS when compared to the as-printed PVA-containing scaffolds. Although the pre-immersion scaffolds performed equally towards osteogenic cell differentiation, our data suggest that a short immersion in PBS of MBG scaffolds is beneficial for the osteogenic properties and might accelerate bone formation after implantation.
